Life in the City
Affectionately known as the “Best Place in ACE (B.P.I.A.),” Mobile is a historic, charming city filled with majestic oak trees, beautiful architecture, and wonderful people. It’s located right on the Gulf Coast, offering easy access to beaches and excellent seafood. It’s also within driving distance of many other ACE communities in the Southeast, which ensures that friendships made over the summer can be maintained.
Most importantly, all of us in the Mobile Community receive incredible support from our school communities, Little Flower Catholic Parish, Notre Dame Club of Mobile, and many other friends in the area.

Why did you say "yes" to serving as a Catholic school educator through ACE Teaching Fellows?
The yes's to being a Catholic school educator and serving through ACE were both easy. I wanted to teach in Catholic schools because I love teaching, I love working with the youth, and I love God. I choose to prepare for and fulfill this role through ACE Teaching Fellows because I didn't want to do it alone. ACE advertised an excellent professional development program and numerous opportunities to grow spiritually, but the selling point for me was the community you live and grow in during your two years.

Why did you say "yes" to serving as a Catholic school educator through ACE Teaching Fellows?
I said yes to ACE because I have been privileged enough to have passionate and loving educators throughout my academic life. I feel called to teach so that I can have a similar impact on my students as my teachers had on me, by helping them become accomplished students and, more importantly, high-character people who strive to make the world a better place.
